FCC is fully committed to supporting students to aspire to the highest levels of achievement in their academic pursuits. There has been a proud and consistent record of outstanding achievement in VCE, for many years.
The Sciences and the Arts are the curriculum strengths of the college, and an extensive range of subject and programs choices are offered. Students value this choice to suit their individual interests and needs.
There is an outstanding instrumental music program, as well as a comprehensive sports program and many opportunities to be involved in the performing arts, student leadership and community service.
The over-arching emphasis is on our students realising academic potential, and developing into confident, articulate, well-rounded young people with a sense of social responsibility.
A successful TAFE Media program is offered within the college. It enrols a relatively small cohort of students who have completed VCE.
